Clairfontaine spiral bound gridded notebooks

I have been using them for decades. In the city I am living now, they are not available in stores, so I am happy that you offer them. Thank you!

Clairefontaine notebooks

I bought 4 of these for the semester. The paper is excellent for liquid ink and the notebooks' small size is great for portability. However, I wish the line spacing were more like traditional college-ruled paper. The lines are slightly farther apart, and when the notebooks are open they almost look like children's notebooks. Overall, I would not hesitate to buy these notebooks again. The paper quality and portability make up for the wide spaces between lines.

Clairfontaine is Wonderful!

I'm a relative newbie, and I do a lot of reading. When I hear about something that is widely regarded as wonderful, I want to give it a try. The notebook is great. I love the way my pens glide over the surface. It is the smoothest paper I've found.

Just right for variety of occasions

This is a re-order for more as both my wife and I now use these. Wife was bemoaning lack of fountain pen friendly notebook so I took her one of these to try out. She liked it, so we ordered more. Minimal if any bleed through, so can readily use both sides of the page. Spacing (8mm) just right for our size/style of handwriting. Stiff cover affords good support when writing surface not available. Wire binding allows flat fold out and complete folding back. Use it for notes at meetings, lectures, book outlines, speech notes. Handy size and nice colors. Keep 'em coming. Thanks. Richard T

Best paper I can find

I have been using this paper almost exclusively for about a year and a half. Truth is I can't stand the primary colors these little notebooks come in so I am constantly looking for something to replace them. I have been disappointed with every other option I have tried.Fantastic writing experience.Great, consistent quality.A cover that looks like your going to fourth grade.

What a Perfect Size

This notebooks are just enough bigger than the standard size. And having a margin is ideal. This is my go-to work paper.

Love these notebooks

I have this notebook in the marginless version and love it. Got this one for logging my Amazon sales items. Never had an ink bleed through this paper, even with wet 1.1mm nibs. Smooth, uniform, just a super notebook for use with fountain pens. The double wire is more robust than the cheaper single wire bound books, lays perfectly flat. You can't get any better than this notebook. Of course, Goulet's service was tops, packaged to perfection. Shipped right away.

Smooth, no bleed through

Very smooth paper with no bleed-through, even when I did some drawing using my Lamy Safari with 1.1 calligraphy nib, and Iroshizuku Yama Budo and Ina Ho ink.

Good notebooks for a journal

I chose the wirebound option so that the notebook lays flat without holding the notebook with my other hand. The size of the notebook is good for putting in a bag while being big enough to develop some thoughts before turning a page. If you are thinking of using these as school notebooks, you might want the larger size. (I've taken enough lecture notes that I've come to hate that paper size.) I use these notebooks with a Lamy Safari pen and black Lamy ink. The paper takes the ink well without feathering or bleeding through to the other side. I'm happy with this paper and will keep using it.

My favorite paper

This is my favorite paper. Has a faster dry time than Rhodia, and is almost as smooth (I find Rhodia too smooth). This particular notebook is a great size. Large enough to be used as a full size notebook and small enough to be tucked away and carried easily (it's certainly not pocket-sized though!). I'm a big fan of the paper in general, and this notebook in particular.

Classic Clairefontaine Wirebound Notebook

Although the notebook is slightly smaller for my taste, the paper is excellent as usual. This little notebook is great for taking quick notes around the house.

Wow! what a quality paper

You can't go wrong with this notebooks. If you like to carry around a reasonable sized notebook for taking notes or write down ideas or thoughts, this one is just perfect, and the most amazing thing is the quality of the paper: is like writing in silk. This notebooks, for those that love writing and use quality writing instruments, like fountain pens (I'm one of them), will find this notebooks a real pleasure. For this price would be difficult to find anything of this quality. Thanks my Goulet friends. I'll be back soon hungry for more.

Great for quick notes

It's fairly small, easy to slip into a briefcase or work tote, and it's high-quality Clairefontaine paper - take notes on both sides!If I could change one thing about it, I would remove the dividers. I don't have any use for the dividers or internal pockets.

Best paper ever!

I adore this paper. There is so much I love: I love the crisp white, the smoothness (but never slippery), how it brings out the depth and shading in ink, and I love how bleeding is never an issue. I also love the margin, it's perfect. And the overall size is excellent too. Big enough to feel unconfined when writing and small enough to take everywhere. Finally, being left handed, the spiral seems minimal, does not interfere, and is remarkably a non issue. There are, however, a couple of things I don't prefer. I wish the notebook had more pages, it seems rather sparse and flimsy. I also wish the line spacing was a bit more narrow. And finally, and very nit picky, ideally the lines would be dotted or a little less obvious. Overall, a great purchase that I will be repeating.

Best Notebook

I have tried too many different notebooks and have never been completely satisfied. But there is something about these Clairefontaine Wirebound Notebooks that is just right for me. The beautiful Clairfontaine paper is a pleasure to write on with any fountain pen and the thickness of the book is perfect. If you prefer to have more sheets, try the 6 x 8-1/4 but I prefer this 6-3/4 x 8-5/8 notebook because it is slightly larger (but still fits in a small shoulder bag, and because of the margin on the left side of each page, which I consider essential for side notes. Also, this notebook is very reasonably priced! Finally, Goulet Pen Company looks to become one of the best places on the web to get my favorite ink and paper. Quick, responsible service and very reasonable shipping costs. Thanks Brian!
